Baby Got Back - Gilbert & Sullivan Style


Ok if you don't use an RSS reader to keep track of your favorite blogs you're surfing harder than you need to. I keep track of all my REALLY favorite blogs and websites, and podcasts, and YouTubers and so on and so on. Everyday a treasure trove of stuff that I specifically like shows up in my GReader, and I share the best with you...my gentle snow flakes(obscure reference...free Double CD set "Yamagoo Spring Jams" to the first person to correctly identify that..oh and a real honest to God Michael Jackson Thriller LP see photo the one with the big fold out!)
So today I pass along some more yummy web stuff from Cory at BoingBoing (Xeni, Xeni, who can we turn to?) who was kind enough to point me toward MPHTower and more specifically this brilliant piece of editing and reworking....


I checked out more of MPH's stuff and it's really good! of course I shoulda figured that BoingBoing wouldn't steer us wrong!



Musician's Friend is the #1 supplier of musical equipment through their awesome catalog and website. They've been around forever so go look. We get paid if you buy something so take a look and anyway we don't charge for the blog right so... have you seen our Google ADS? LOL! just kidding...no..no...seriously...did you see them?

Boing Boing: Mayor of Boston bans Boing Boing




From our friends over at Boing Boing: Mayor of Boston bans Boing Boing (including the uber-sexy Xeni? We're outraged) have found themselves in the company of the Mooninites. The site is banned on the local free wi-fi network in Boston. I would say this virtually GUARANTEES that you are not surfing Yamagoo on SkyPilot network in Boston.. Apparently the Mayor of Boston has a beef with all things hip. BoingBoing is not an offensive site by any stretch and its restriction is the first step toward breaking the hearts of the Founding Fathers who came from Boston. Hey Mayor Menino way to disappoint your constituents and further your reputation as America's Putz. Do I smell an Asshole of the Week nominee?

From Xeni by way of Say Everything
 
At 26, Kitty is herself an old lady, in Internet terms. She left her teens several years before the revolution began in earnest: the forest of arms waving cell-phone cameras at concerts, the MySpace pages blinking pink neon revelations, Xanga and Sconex and YouTube and Lastnightsparty.com and Flickr and Facebook and del.icio.us and Wikipedia and especially, the ordinary, endless stream of daily documentation that is built into the life of anyone growing up today. You can see the evidence everywhere, from the rural 15-year-old who records videos for thousands of subscribers to the NYU students texting come-ons from beneath the bar. Even 9-year-olds have their own site, Club Penguin, to play games and plan parties. The change has rippled through pretty much every act of growing up. Go through your first big breakup and you may need to change your status on Facebook from "In a relationship" to "Single." Everyone will see it on your "feed," including your ex, and that's part of the point.' (read the rest here)

The article confirms something I have pondered for quite some time about the changes that we need to consider in our personal behaviors living in such an in your face, post it on my blog, cell phone pictures/ video, YouTube view whore, society.  There's none of the "thank God everyone else was a f**ked up as I was last night" to save you from embarrassment, prosecution or worse. 

Different world.  We need to adjust to it cause this here Genie ain't goin back in the lamp.

Star Wars of the Roses - Xeni Love


So here it is 2007! We start off with some Xeni love from BoingBoing. Xeni if you weren't already the perfect woman, in so many ways, you sealed the deal with the latest post on the 501st Legion 's appearance escorting 2007 Rose Parade Grand Marshall George Lucas. I spent the better part of this morning searching, in vain for pics of the 501st, or the floats, or anything besides the regurgitated AP garbage and there wasn't alot. Then on a refresh of the GReader Voila, Xeni to the rescue. Read the post here. There's a ton of 501st video on YouTube and I've added some of the coolest to the Vlog.
